Art Context and Enquiry: A Conversation with Afterall

On the 17th of March, Afterall Publishing Director Caroline Woodley will join André Mesquita of MASP, Brazil, in conversation, looking back at how Afterall has worked in partnership since its foundation to develop and expand its core research strands, the potential scope of the new collaboration with the Public Programs at the Museu de Arte de São Paulo and their shared interest in art, politics and activism.

The British Council Exchange Programme is designed to build up connections between museums, cultural institutions and creative universities in Brazil and the United Kingdom. Under this scheme, MASP and Afterall have started a new collaboration.

2018 marks the twentieth anniversary of Afterall. Founded in 1998 as a journal of art, context and enquiry, Afterall’s mission remains today much as it began: to discuss the work of contemporary artists and relate their ambitions to a wider social, political and philosophical framework.

Afterall Publishing Director Caroline Woodley will be in conversation with André Mesquita of MASP, with an introduction by Jeremy Till, Head of Central Saint Martins and Pro-Vice Chancellor of the University of the Arts London; Adriano Pedrosa, Artistic Director of MASP; and Martin Dowle, Director, British Council in Brazil.
